Gov. Moonbeam denies parole for Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten
Nearly 47 years after she was first imprisoned for brutal murders

  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Gov. Jerry Brown denied parole for Leslie Van Houten on Friday

  • The 66-year-old is serving a life sentence for participating in the killing of supermarket heir Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary, in 1969

  • Brown wrote in his decision that Van Houten failed to explain how she transformed from an upstanding teen to a killer
  • I guess "It wuz the times, man..." is not considered an acceptable response.
  • At 19, Van Houten was the youngest Manson follower to take part in the killings after she joined the cult in the 1960s

  • Van Houten's lawyer said he expected Brown's decision because of political pressure, and said he will challenge decision in court
  • How exactly does one do that? It's a parole decision and the decision is final.
  • She was previously denied parole 19 times between 1979 and 2013
  • Her lawyer certainly earnt his pay.

She was previously denied parole 19 times between 1979 and 2013

Given that she's now 0-20, there might not BE any more pay comin' for that lawyer, which could explain the appeal.

#5  She will never see parole. And rightfully so. My uncle was a juror on that trial. He was a very private and loving family man. He was a non violent, peace loving man that lived a life of music and making others lives better. His wife was a school teacher and two wonderful kids. Until the jury summons, they lived the storybook American dream. The trial killed him. He died of cancer at a very early age, only a few years after the trial ended. The Manson crew destroyed everyone involved with them, to include those that has to judge them. The entire Manson crew needs to rot while here on earth and then with gods help they can rot in hell for all eternity...

Britain
Britain's first Muslim mayor is kicked out after being found guilty of blackmailing voters
Sadly, not London's
A judge decided last year's poll will be void and banned Lutfur Rahman from standing in an upcoming election.

Rahman, who became the UK's first Muslim mayor when elected in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in 2010, was ruled to have used "undue spiritual influence" to religiously blackmail the Bangladeshi community to vote for him

He was also found to have unfairly smeared his opponent in the election, Labour's John Biggs, a racist.

Judge Richard Mawrey, who also found Rahman had given money to Muslim groups to help secure re-election - even giving cash to those who had not applied for grants - said: "Mr Rahman will remark this decision is about racism and Islamophobia but this is nothing of the sort.

"He has carved a successful career of ignoring and flouting laws and silencing critics with claims of Islamophobia. But they have not been silenced and neither will this court.

"This is the result of the ruthless ambition of one man and the real losers here are the citizens of Tower Hamlets and especially the Bangladeshi community.

"The result of this has been to isolate that community and create resentment from other communities.

"He has accused his opponents of dividing the community but if anyone was it was him.

Kaine in Miami: 'Bienvenidos a todos' (Welcome to Everyone)
Miami (CNN) Tim Kaine took the stage alongside Hillary Clinton in Miami Saturday and offered his first greeting to voters as a vice presidential nominee -- in Spanish.

"Bienvenidos a todos," the Virginia senator said, a phrase that translates to "welcome to everyone."

Clinton and Kaine's first joint appearance as running mates at a campaign rally here marked the official unveiling of the Democratic ticket. The duo will face off against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.

Right off the bat, the contrast that the Clinton campaign will seek to highlight between Kaine and the Republican ticket during the general election was clear.

WikiLeaks’ DNC Email Leak Reveals Off The Record Media Correspondence
The reporting media source is probably more noteworthy that the article.
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS) — WikiLeaks released over 20,000 emails on Friday allegedly sent from the accounts of U.S. Democratic National Committee officials, including dozens of off the record media correspondence.

Some of the most interesting emails to read are those exchanged by DNC staffers as they decide how to respond to media inquiries, and then their off-the-record and deep background responses to numerous national media outlets. The emails contained off the record correspondence with reporters at the Washington Post, Politico, and the Wall Street Journal, among others.

The emails, according to WikiLeaks, covers the period from January 2015 through May 25, 2016. Wikileaks said this is just part one of the Hillary Leaks series.

An internal email from DNC spokesman Eric Walker mocked a Buzzfeed news report analyzing the DNC and the Republican National Committee’s potentially weak cybersecurity.

Another email shows DNC staffers’ fake craigslist job posting made for women who wish to apply to jobs at one of Trump’s organizations. The fake position, titled a Honey Bunny, requires the prospective applicant to, among other tasks, refrain from gaining weight, be open to public humiliation and be alright with groping or kissing by her boss.

Another email between DNC national finance director Jordan Kaplan and DNC’s Northern California finance director Erik Stowe has Kaplan coarsely describing a conference call with President Barack Obama on National Small Business Week as related to “small business sh*t.”

Wikileaks has not revealed the source of the leaked emails.

Obama rejects Trump’s depiction of US in crisis
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] President Barack Obama
I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go...
fiercely rejected Donald Trump's depiction of an America in crisis on Friday, arguing that violent crime and illegal immigration have plunged under his leadership to their lowest rates in decades.

Looking to November's election, Obama said, "We're not going to make good decisions based on fears that don't have a basis in fact."

Leaked Emails Show DNC Chair Told Chuck Todd Negative Coverage ‘Must Stop’
[MEDIAITE] Part of the cache of emails from top DNC officials reveals that DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
...Congresswoman from Florida, the abrasive chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. She has been a politician since 1992, and prior to that was in training as a political science major. Her primary accomplishment seems to be that she's Jewish...
took issue with the negative coverage coming from MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski, going so far as to email NBC’s Chuck Todd to tell the anchor that it "must stop."

The email was sent on May 18 to Todd with the subject "Chuck, this must stop." In the email, Wasserman Schultz forwards Todd an article from Breitbart’s Ian Hanchett glossing the criticism Wasserman Schultz had received from the Morning Joe co-host. Brzenzinski is quoted as saying that Wasserman Schultz "should step down" over her poor handling of the Democratic primary.

"Chuck, see below. I would like to discuss this with you today. Can you reach out to Luis to schedule a call? Thanks," Wasserman Schultz writes.

Just before contacting Todd, in an email to DNC Communications Director Luis Miranda, Wasserman Schultz was more forceful, writing, "This is the LAST straw. [...] This is outrageous. She needs to apologize."

Todd replied to Wasserman Schultz with the hours that day he was available to speak, and she agrees to have Miranda set up a call.

Todd told Mediaite that the email was not remarkable. "I think it’s clear what it was. Someone complaining about coverage," he said. "Something that happens daily from every campaign we interact with."

#13  Tis a moot point. Cruz’s and Kasich took a pledge to back the GOP candidate. Instead they pouted off like petulant college children to their safe spaces.

Carlson and Cruz where honestly intriguing to me. But after watching several Cruz speeches I was beyond baffled and the gross diodes of flat out lie that he poured out to his lower informed supporters. No insult here to the wonderful Burg supporters... And I liked the guy.

And remember the attack on Trump's wife came from a PAC member working out of Carly Fiorina's own office. Their was no call from the indignant Teddy to fire her staffer. He would have had to admit who she was working for.

Kasich? A man who can't even figure out how to chew with his mouth closed. Nice guy that even in his own rosy world but I'm willing to wager a healthy bet that the dead algae in my pond have a rational myriad more of function IQ that Ohio's answer to Lurch.

If you have wandering dogs you kennel them up.

Trumps musings over these two is likely a passing reflection on what to do with idiots. Don't know if I approve but to flippantly disregard why is to miss the majority of the mood of the largest voter turn out in GOP history.

Circulation has dropped for both and prices have gone up. USA Today is going where the money is. Full page Trump just a few days ago (July 18th). This is a positive historic moment in American history. Enjoy the ride or lament and moan on the sidelines with Debbie Wassermann Schultz and Whoppi Goldberg.

Posted by: Dale || 07/24/2016 13:59 Comments || Top||

#18  FWIW, I concur with Michael Mann's comment. Also, would like to emphasize that the Bloomberg article, which reads like a cat bringing a rat in the house as a trophy, is sourced this way: "The person close to Trump’s thinking ...." That's about as weaselly worded as I can imagine, protecting from charge of libel. Easily a person who hates Trump, not on his staff, but psychically puts her/himself in Trump's frame of mind, supposedly, and, keying off passages from his extempore Friday, says or writes what the article claims to report.

Trump's point Friday was that Cruz attacked his wife. He did, see Mann above. Trump was seriously joking about PAC-ing Ted. "The person close to Trump's thinking" -- namely, anyone who saw the video -- decided he was just serious are reported out the same. Dishonest.

Tactically, now IS the time to forewarn political enemies so they are not emboldened, later, to snipe. I think that's what Trump was doing Friday at the presser from which this Bloomberg story was fabricated. And yes, when you have a bat, let potential opposition see you warming up with it. Cruz and Kasich are not even in Trump's league. They flatter themselves that their punching up at Trump, or threatening to, has merit. But they needed little demonstration and got one.

#20  Republicans held their convention in Ohio and yet the governor of Ohio, who signed a pledge to support the nominee, couldn't be bothered to show up and support the nominee. Maybe he'd be more comfortable this coming week in Philadelphia. And as for Cruz...weasel.

Anybody remember what Harry Truman said? If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.

#21  Cruz walked into the kitchen and he told the chef his recipe sucks.

Cruz Sr has an amazing LEGAL immigrant story.

His son US Senator Ted Cruz said he did not authorize the Mrs Trump image. As mentioned above that seems to have come from Carly Fiorina.

To respond by attacking Cruz's wife AND father made any cooperative agreement TOTALLY null and void.

You make a deal with me and due to a misstep you knee jerk into slandering my immediate family I will never HONOR anything supposedly signed on the lines of mutual respect, which now no longer exists.

Still don't get it???

That just shows why everything stateside for this generation is a bloody mess.

Hacked Emails Show Democratic Party Hostility To Sanders
[HOSTED.AP.ORG] A cache of more than 19,000 emails from Democratic party officials, leaked in advance of Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillary and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Abel P. Upshur ...
's nomination at the party's convention next week in Philadelphia, details the acrimonious split between the Democratic National Committee and Clinton's former rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders
...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords...
Several emails posted by Wikileaks on its document disclosure website show DNC officials scoffing at Sanders and his supporters and in one instance, questioning his commitment to his Jewish religion. Some emails also show DNC and White House officials mulling whether to invite guests with controversial backgrounds to Democratic party events.

Although Wikileaks' posting of the emails Friday did not disclose the identity of who provided the private material, those knowledgeable about the breach said last month that Russian hackers had penetrated the DNC computer system. At the time, DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
...Congresswoman from Florida, the abrasive chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. She has been a politician since 1992, and prior to that was in training as a political science major. Her primary accomplishment seems to be that she's Jewish...
said the breach was a "serious incident" and a private contractor hired to sweep the organization's network had "moved as quickly as possible to kick out the intruders and secure our network."

#1  So the fix was in for Hildabeast from the get go. Bernie never saw the bus coming before it was too late. Then he caught the bus at the last moment just before he was about to get run over. His progressive followers don't seem to be too happy with this whole affair--they seem to think Bernie "sold out." They also believe there was widespread voter fraud on the part of the Hillary campaign--they even assert "we wuz robbed. The election was stolen." Republicans better watch out for widespread Dem voter fraud. They'd best hire some of the best computer types and election fraud experts ASAP.
